First experiencing glass in the 1980’s at Staffordshire Polytechnic, he then continued his study at the Royal College of Art.

| The Offering |
Romanelli made a name for himself by incorporating body casts of his own body when creating some of his glass sculptures.

In the last 15 years, Bruno’s focus on the relationship between form, colour, light, and material have resulted in more abstract pieces of art.

| Daphnis |
His quest to achieve the perfect balance of form, colour, and light has required the use of many complex processes and techniques, particularly lost-wax glass casting which often results in one piece taking from four weeks to four months to reach completion.

Romanelli’s most notable commission is producing the Rising Star glass trophy for BAFTA’s annual award ceremony.

“It is this combination of light, colour, form, material and their relationship that creates harmony and energy within the work.”

His more than 30 years of experience working with glass has led to him becoming an established artist who exhibits both nationally and internationally.

NOTE:
Lost-wax casting, also called “investment casting,” is a process by
which a duplicate can be cast from an original. My father used lost-wax casting
through his work with the dental industry for many years but later used it to
cast gold and silver jewelry from small pinecones. I have one I still wear. (D.
